News & Events—Conferences/Workshops

Conferences and workshops are events with so much information that they need a different, larger template than a regular event. I see conferences and workshops as the same thing. Conferences imply more talking, workshops more doing; but they can use the same template.

This content needs to stay accessible indefinitely. So we’ll need a stable place to put it and keep it alive. (People come back for the program, participants, and proceedings.)

Existing conference “microsites” that can be preserved in their existing format—but show every kind of info we could want on a conference/workshop template: http://instaar.colorado.edu/meetings/GES-9/ http://instaar.colorado.edu/meetings/AW2010/about/index.html

Welcome to Boulder!

The polar regions occupy new territory in public awareness. As a changing climate confronts both local and global populations and remixes environmental systems, shifting perceptions of polar regions are driving scientific discovery, cultural change, news coverage, resource races, and political and social debate. Even to those who live far from them, the Arctic and Antarctic no longer seem remote.

The theme of the 2012 colloquy emphasizes the global reach of Arctic and Antarctic issues. As always, papers and panel discussions on all topics are welcome. The theme may stimulate discussions of scale, networks, or relationships. For instance:

How are changing perceptions of polar regions reflected in our collections or patterns of use? Are we providing resources to journalists, policy makers, citizens, students? Are we preserving cultural or historical resources to new ends?

How are we thinking global while acting local? What are ways in which our specific actions in specialized libraries connect to each other or to broader networks?

Is it possible to frame trends in our services, funding environment, etc. in concepts like center vs. periphery, near vs. far, plenty vs. scarcity?

How are libraries and archives reaching out to their patrons, or finding new patrons?

How can we create library fans and champions?

What new technologies are we using, and what for? How might we connect people with collections in innovative ways?

Libraries have often been described as “windows on the world.” What views of polar regions are our libraries and archives presenting?

The Colloquy will be hosted by the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR)

Library and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Resource Office for

Cryospheric Studies (ROCS).

Getting here from Denver International Airport bus

A public bus, the RTD-Denver SkyRide AB ( http://www.rtddenver.com/skyRide_SubHome.shtml

) travels between Boulder and the airport every hour.

When you arrive, proceed to the terminal and pick up any luggage on the level 5 carousels. An RTD kiosk on the west side of the terminal will show the next departure time for the AB route, usually at about 20 minutes past the hour.

Proceed through door 506 on the west side of the terminal, or door 507 on the east side, and walk out past all the other bus lanes to island 5. Look for the RTD sign overhead. The driver will put your suitcase in a luggage bin underneath the bus – tell him you are traveling to the Baseline stop.

The fare is $13 ($6.50 seniors 65+ with i.d.). Ask for a transfer if you wish to take the local bus half a mile further toward the Boulder Inn. Fares are payable only in cash and the drivers cannot give change – but fellow riders may be able to change a bill if you have only an ATM-issued $20.

Once the bus arrives in Boulder, it will stop a few times. Once you turn north on

Broadway, a major street through town, listen for the Baseline stop and pull the stop cord. You can ask the driver to tell you when you reach the Baseline stop.

Once your feet are on the sidewalk and your luggage is collected, you can either walk the half mile to the Boulder Inn or take a local bus, the Bound. Walk to the nearest corner and turn right (there’s a Starbucks there); walk away from the mountains about 35 meters to a bus stop. Use your transfer to ride the Bound one stop. shuttle service

SuperShuttle is a shared-ride shuttle service from the airport to or from your hotel.

Book your reservation for airport transportation online using the coupon below for a slightly discounted fare of $27 one way or $48 round trip. http://www.supershuttle.com/?gc=PLC12&port=DEN&Property=15833&aType=H

Or use group discount code PLC12.

Maps

Download the maps of Boulder from the association of downtown merchants http://www.boulderdowntown.com/visit/maps . The Directory Map

( http://www.boulderdowntown.com/_files/docs/dowtown-boulder-tear-off-mapmay-2011-web.pdf

), of downtown, and Best of Boulder Map,

( http://www.resortmaps.com/maps/boulder_colorado_map/maps_alive_file.html

) of the larger area that includes the campus and conference hotel, are particularly useful.

Getting around town

Boulder Creek Path: a 5.5 mile (8.8 km) walking and biking path that runs along

Boulder Creek from the foothills, through downtown (including underneath the public library), and out to the east campus of the University where INSTAAR and

NSIDC are located. The path connects to a network of bike and walking trails that can take you to most of the interesting places in Boulder – if you have good walking shoes.

Bus routes: a fleet of buses criss-cross Boulder; buses arrive at stops every 10 minutes or so. One fare is $2.25 ($1.10 for people over 65 – you will have to show i.d. if asked by the driver). http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?Itemid=2975&id=8939&option=com_c ontent&task=view

Pearl Street Mall: a downtown street converted to a pedestrian outdoor mall, lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. Nice weather brings out everyone in town to

window shop, admire the tulip beds, see and be seen, or sit in an outdoor café for happy hour snacks.

Dark Horse A den of iniquity/sports bar near the conference hotel, with walls collaged over decades. Juicy burgers are cooked to order.

Dushanbe Tea House A gift from our sister city in Tajikistan, this cypress-andtile-sheathed local landmark features a variety of eastern and western inspired dishes. You’ll be tempted to sit outside by the creek, but don’t miss a trip inside for the singular painted ceiling.

The Med Tapas, pizza, paella, salads, and grilled meats march down the long and delicious menu at this crowded, loud, and convivial Boulder landmark. http://www.themedboulder.com/ 1002 Walnut Street

Modmarket Fresh, made to order salads, pizza, and sandwiches make for a tasty, healthful, and affordable light dinner. http://www.modmarket.com/

The Rio Famous for their margaritas, this Mexican-style joint makes decent burritos as well.

Happy hours

The best of Boulder happy hours combine a nice drink, local atmosphere, and tasty snacks for bargain prices. Perfect for diners on a budget.

Boulder Café 3:00 to close Half-priced appetizers – share the alpine fondue with a friend.

Brasserie Ten Ten 3:00-6:30 pm Snacks like fried green beans, small crepes, and mussels pair with house wine ($3.75), local beer ($3.25), or a well cocktail ($3.75).

The Kitchen [Next Door] 3:00-6:00, Wed-Sun 9:00-close A friendly, pub-style offshoot of the renowned (and pricey) locavore champion The Kitchen offers $2 local beer or $3 wine with lamb sliders ($2.50) and a number of $1.50 sides and snacks.

Q’s 5:00-7:00 40% off wines and a selection of gourmet small plates – try the gold potato gnocchi. Q’s is the house restaurant in the Boulderado, a showy 19 th century hotel. Ask to ride the elevator – it’s an old Otis, with an operator.

Brew pubs and breweries

Colorado is a center for highly hopped local beer.
